The former supreme leader of the famous Unification Church, often considered a cult in Japan, has presented himself for the scrutiny of an arrest warrant. The details behind the issuance of the warrant are yet to be disclosed. The event comes as part of ongoing legal actions against cult leaders and organizations within Japan.

In Japan, cults have been subject to increased oversight and legal action following the 1995 Tokyo subway sarin attack by Aum Shinrikyo cult. As such, news of cult investigations or legal actions, as in this case, often grab significant attention from the public and tend to be seen as a step towards preventing incidents that could potentially threaten public safety.

Similar to Japan, the US and EU also strictly regulate cults, especially those posing risks to public welfare. However, due to the stronger emphasis on freedom of speech and religion, legal actions are usually pursued based on specific criminal activities, rather than simply the organization's cult status.
